1 MADE IN THE UK MADE IN THE UK

2 Why you should own a Rayburn For more than sixty years, Rayburn has been the warm heart of many British homes, leading the field in central heating range cookers. With its iconic design, absolute reliability and flexibility, it s easy to see why the Rayburn has been such an enduring success. A Rayburn is a totally flexible and controllable cast-iron range cooker that will transform your kitchen into a warm, welcoming space. And today s models offer you all this, plus the efficiency provided by cutting-edge engineering. Benefiting from the very latest boiler design and burner technologies, a Rayburn delivers high levels of efficiency which are independently tested and verified. And because the Rayburn is as good looking as it is practical, it s a joy to live with. Dick Strawbridge Eco-engineer and Celebrity Chef When I was given the opportunity to be an ambassador for Rayburn I didn t hesitate, I have always been proud of being British, and our heritage, and, not surprisingly, as an engineer I know the value of owning and using quality tools. Having a Rayburn just makes sense to me; who wouldn t choose British engineering that is designed and built to last a lifetime?

3 Crafted by hand, built for life Built on heritage, the Rayburn is perfect for life in today s kitchen. Designed by engineers with unparalleled experience and built by craftsmen in Coalbrookdale in Shropshire, on the same site where Abraham Darby discovered the casting process that started the Industrial Revolution, each Rayburn is steeped in history. And each and every model is made here in the UK. Take a closer look at a Rayburn and you ll discover that it isn t simply a cooker, it s a unique piece of hand-built craftsmanship and construction. More than 60 years on, Rayburn iron masters continue the traditions of skilled craftsmanship, with each Rayburn manufactured with genuine pride. Built from solid cast iron, each Rayburn is made with reassuring attention to detail, from the skilled casting of molten iron and the vitreous enamelling to the hand assembly. It s this unique quality of build that sets the Rayburn apart and promises unrivalled performance and reliability. 3

4 The green choice With solid fuel and A rated condensing boiler gas and oil options, the Rayburn is the ideal choice for those who care for the environment as much as they care about good food and a warm home. Benefiting from the very latest boiler design and burner technologies, a Rayburn delivers high levels of efficiency which have been independently tested and verified. Some models offer A rated efficiency oil and gas condensing central heating boilers. There s something so satisfying about burning logs and what could be more natural they re clean, efficient, it s cheaper and I just love the smell of a wood fire. The intelligent Eco-mode setting encourages fuel efficiency and energy savings, whilst the two fully automatic burners allow hot water and heating to be controlled independently of cooking. Add to this the popular wood burning models, which have been specifically designed to optimise the combustion potential of wood, and you have the perfect solution for those who value both the environment and fuel independence. Environmentally friendly Carbon Neutral Burning wood is carbon neutral because it only releases the same amount of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere as it would, if it were left to decompose on the forest floor. So when you burn firewood be assured that you are not harming the environment.

5 10 Reasons to own a Rayburn For more than 60 years, a Rayburn cooker has been at the heart of many a home. Here are just a few reasons why you simply cannot live without a Rayburn. 1 A central heating system and 2 cooker in one neat package A workhorse in the Beneath the classically beautiful exterior of a Rayburn lies a highly effi cient combined heating and cooking oking system that creates mouth-watering dishes, a wonderfully warm home and piping hot water, just when you need it. What s more, with the added convenience of having all your heating, hot water and cooking in one, you can use valuable additional space for other appliances or creative space! A workhorse in the home Nothing s more honest than a Rayburn. Throughout history Rayburn has been inseparable from life in the country. When Shire horses ploughed the fi elds and generations of families worked the land, a Rayburn range was always at the centre of family life providing heating, hot water and cooking for all. 6

6 3 Simply better food The Rayburn is a brilliant cooker that produces amazing succulent food from cast iron ovens. Using the principle of indirect heat, the ovens gently cook food and lock in fl avour, moisture and goodness. To fi nd out more about why Rayburn-cooked food tastes so good, see page 8. 7 Fuel options and colours Fuel options include wood, solid fuel such as manufactured smokelsss fuel (MSF) or peat briquettes. Plus with eight colour options to choose from. 4 The green choice 8 With solid fuel and A effi ciency rated gas and oil options, the Rayburn is the ideal choice for those who care for the environment as much as they care about good food and a warm home. 5 The iconic smooth lines, attractive colours and solid reliability of a Rayburn have created a design classic that blends in perfectly with any home. The compact dimensions of the 200 Series perfectly suit smaller kitchens. A design classic 9 70% of every Rayburn is made from recycled materials Unlike other types of cooker, every Rayburn is almost completely recyclable, with 70% of each Rayburn made from used materials such as lamp posts, drain covers, old cast iron cookers, old machinery and much more. 6 A proud heritage For 65 years, the Rayburn has been made by skilled craftsmen at the company s historic foundry in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. We are hugely proud that time honoured traditions of skilled craftsmen have been passed down from one generation to the next and that each and every model is made here in the UK. MADE IN THE UK MADE IN THE UK 10 A wide range of boilers to power any size of home From the smallest model in our 200 Series that can fuel two or three radiators, to the largest of the 800 Series that can heat up to 30 radiators, there s a boiler to suit any size of home. What s more, the use of the very latest boiler design and burner technologies deliver the high levels of effi ciency you would expect from modern heating systems. 7

7 Simply better food Rayburn cast iron ovens use the principle of indirect heat, which is kind to food and locks in flavour, moisture and goodness. Generations of devoted Rayburn owners will testify to the difference. From high-heat cooking, which helps bring out the best in vegetables, to roasting and brilliant baking, the Rayburn is master of all culinary styles. Nothing is simpler, nothing is easier, nothing gives you such fantastic results whether you re cooking a simple dish or the most complex of modern recipes, you can rely on the Rayburn to perform beautifully. 8

8 Master of all culinary styles Bake Indirect radiant heat will help you create feather light pastries, beautifully baked cakes and wonderfully moist breads. Fry & Stir-Fry The intense heat of the hotplate means steaks can be quickly seared, producing meat that is branded on the outside and tender inside. The boiling end of a Rayburn s hotplate delivers a perfect stir-fry in minutes. Roast Roasts are quick and easy in the main oven. Food is cooked evenly with minimum shrinkage. Alternatively slow roasting gives meltingly tender results. Grill Delicious, tasty grills. Bacon, fish, tomatoes, chops and that Sunday morning speciality of a full British breakfast, can all be grilled at the top of the main oven. Steam You can use the simmering end of the hotplate or the main oven, on a low setting, to steam anything from a light sponge pudding, to a pan of root vegetables. Slow Cooking With the Rayburn s main oven running at an idling rate, you can create rich, succulent stews, casseroles, curries and soups. Boil The heat is graduated along the hotplate so that you can bring a big pot of rice or potatoes quickly to the boil then just slide them sideways to reduce the heat. Griddle Cooking Unlike most other range cookers, you can cook directly on a Rayburn s hotplate, perfect for a tasty lunchtime toastie or for making drop scones and pancakes. 393

9 Nothing cooks like a Rayburn The combination of ovens and hotplates ensures the Rayburn is perfect for every kind of cooking. Hotplate The large hotplate with its stylish iconic insulating lids is delightfully simple to use, offering gentle simmering at one end and rapid boiling at the other. It can also be used for toast, drop scones, pancakes, scallops and more a truly versatile cooking surface. Main oven The large capacity main oven can be used for a variety of cooking techniques from roasting to grilling to baking and because the ovens are all vented into the flue the flavours from one dish will not taint another so a whole range of foods from cakes to succulent roast joints can be cooked together maximising the capacity of the Rayburn and minimising your effort! Lower oven Complementing the hotplate and main oven the lower oven has the same benefits of all round heat and runs up to half the heat of the main oven. It is ideal for gentler items such as slow cooked and rich tasting casseroles and perfectly steamed, healthy, flavourful root vegetables. 10

10 The inside story 3 Today s Rayburn cookers are the pinnacle of efficiency and flexibility. 1 A Rayburn is a totally flexible and controllable cast iron range cooker that will transform your kitchen into a warm welcoming space. It has the capability to power your radiators, supply all the hot water you could need and using the cast iron ovens creates the most delicious food. 4 6 Once installed, your Rayburn will virtually look after itself. The ovens are selfcleaning, the flue spirits away unwanted oven condensation and cooking smells. And with a regular service (dependent on your model), your Rayburn will perform day in, day out with maximum efficiency. That s why it s not simply a purchase, it s a solid investment for years to come The hotplate A solid one-piece cast iron construction, with heat graduated along its length. As with a professional chef s hotplate, it s so easy to slide pans from simmering to boil or any temperature in between. Larger models will take up to eight saucepans with ease. 2. Oven doors Positive door action makes the doors easy to close with just a push, while rope door seals provide excellent insulation. 3. Insulated lids When the insulated lids are in the closed position they retain hotplate heat, leaving the highly polished finish warm to the touch. 4. Heat source burner unit This varies from model to model, some having a continuous burn feature, others having advanced high power units which allow on/off operation. 5. Lower oven The lower oven can be either a cooking oven or warming oven, dependent on the model. The cast iron cooking oven operates at half the main oven temperature, whilst the sheet metal warming oven operates at one third. 6. Main oven The main oven is made from cast iron and using indirect heat, the oven can cook with the gentle efficiency that is unique to an authentic range. A thermodial in the main oven door gives a guide to the centre oven temperature. Simmer: C Bake: C Roast: C SIMMER OVEN BAKE T TEMP ROAST 11

11 GOOD FOOD HOT BATHS All your heating needs in one cast iron appliance With a Rayburn central heating range cooker you get the satisfaction of knowing that you are minimising effort and energy all your cooking, heating and hot water needs in one neat package. That means you can enjoy a cosy, warm kitchen, hot water for all the family and heating for the rest of the home from one stunning appliance. Model 216SFW 345W 355SFW Average no. of radiators* * Standard 1.5kW radiator 2/3 6 8 Energy efficient heating and hot water We understand that a reliable heating system is essential in order to provide comfort and hot water all year round. That s why our boilers and burners are engineered without compromise to ensure the highest reliability and quality. Rayburn boilers are stringently tested to give proven performance and effi ciency with highly developed combustion chambers and advanced burner technologies 12

12 Fuels Solid fuel Solid fuel is an efficient and economical method of fuelling your home and every solid fuel Rayburn can be fuelled with manufactured smokeless fuel (MSF), compressed heat logs and peat briquettes. Rayburn solid fuel and wood fired cookers offer maximum flexibility, performance and economy through a clever combination of air intakes, dampers and levers. Enjoy low running costs through this efficient and economical method of cooking and heating your home. Wood Wood is a renewable resource and the most environmentally friendly fuel to burn. For those who know that they will only ever want to burn wood we have dedicated models with grates specifically designed to optimise the combustion potential of wood. Some Rayburn models are also available in wood only, with the 345W attracting a lower rate of VAT. 14

13 Sustainable, renewable, controllable The art of wood burning A clean burning, wood fired Rayburn uses indirect heat technology to create a stable, controllable heat source. But to obtain the best results from your Rayburn, it s important to use properly seasoned wood as this provides the most heat with the least smoke, burning cleanly and efficiently preventing the production of tar deposits in the chimney. Once timber has been cut to length for the Rayburn s large firebox, the logs need to be split to expose the inner surface to allow moisture to evaporate and the wood to season. Stack and leave for six months to a year, preferably under cover, for the moisture to reach the ideal level of 20% or below cut in Autumn, burn the next. Wood blocks or peat briquettes can also be burnt. For best results use a mixture of soft and hard woods. Dry soft woods give a quick, hot fire to bring the cooker quickly up to temperature after idling. Burn hard woods for more prolonged burning once a desired temperature has been reached or for through the night. Eco-Connect integrating traditional heating systems with renewables AGA Rayburn now has an innovative award-winning system called Eco-Connect which enables you to link your renewable energy Rayburn central heating cooker to an automatic boiler, or allowing integration of a wood burning stove and solar thermal panels. This new system makes integrating traditional heating systems and appliances using energy from renewable sources a whole lot easier. 153

18 Your guide to flues Conventional flue What is a flue and what does it do? When we burn a fuel to release heat, gases are produced that need to be safely discharged to the outside atmosphere, where they quickly and harmlessly disperse. Solid fuel and wood burning appliances need a flue to create a movement of air and thus oxygen across the firebed to make them burn. The flue is the means used to convey the products of combustion from the cooker to outside. Any objectionable smells created are therefore also carried away by the flue. A flue can be part of a chimney, but there are various types and options. Rayburn cookers offer a choice of three flue options, dependent on the model: conventional, balanced and power flue. Conventional flue A conventional flue (also known as open flue) uses a flue continuously rising from the top of the cooker and terminating above the highest part of the roof. A chimney built of stone or brick can be used for this purpose, providing that the inside is lined with an acid resistant material, again commonly referred to as the flue. Alternatively the flue-pipe from the cooker can be taken all the way up using special prefabricated flue systems consisting of twin-wall pipe and usually manufactured from stainless steel. Conventional flued cookers can be sited on internal or external walls within the property as convenient. Models requiring conventional flues or open flues: Multifuel & Wood - 200,

ASSURED PERFORMANCE 3 YEAR WARRANTY 34

20 Installation We recommend that you have a site survey carried out by a suitably qualified and competent installer to ensure you choose a Rayburn that fully meets your needs and requirements. In common with all heating appliances, a Rayburn must always be installed, commissioned and serviced by a qualified and trained heating engineer. An oil-fired Rayburn should be installed by an OFTEC registered engineer, who will complete the necessary completion certificate. A gas-fired central heating Rayburn must be installed by a GAS SAFE registered engineer (holding CKHB1) and a HETAS engineer must install a solid fuel Rayburn. If installation is to be by other persons, the local authority Building Control Office must be notified in accordance with current Building Regulations (England & Wales). Rayburns must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer s installation instructions, relevant Building Regulations and British Standard Codes of Practice. The Rayburn must be installed on a solid, level floor or on a base of incombustible material which is capable of supporting its total weight. Before connecting a Rayburn to its flue, or inserting a liner into a flue that has been previously used, the flue must be thoroughly swept of any soot and loose materials. Commissioning Under no circumstances should a Rayburn which needs commissioning be turned on before commissioning has been completed. Commissioning will normally be carried out upon completion of the installation by the competent installer. Where third party commissioning has to occur, additional costs will be incurred for travelling to remote or difficult sites, or where, once on site it is found that the installation is incomplete and commissioning cannot be carried out. Servicing Always use a fully trained, competent engineer. Dependent upon the model of Rayburn, servicing should be carried out once or twice a year. Spares are available through the AGA shop australia. The heating engineer should only use genuine Rayburn parts. Solid fuel and wood burning Rayburns, in addition to having the chimney swept, Performance and Efficiencies All Rayburn products are independently accredited by third party bodies, covering performance and safety. will require regular cleaning of the appliance flueways, which can be carried out by the user, according to the manufacturer s instructions. Rayburn reserve the right to make alterations to the design, material and construction of the appliance. This brochure is produced as a buying guide and is not intended as a substitute for the installation and user instructions. At Rayburn we are committed to supporting the government energy efficiency initiatives and to this end our products are designed to comply with the requirements of the latest building regulations. 35

23 Frequently asked questions Do I have to leave my Rayburn on all the time? Traditional models have been designed for continuous operation and are adjusted to provide the required temperatures. Will I have to relearn how to cook with a Rayburn? No. your Rayburn can be used as easily as any conventional cooker. There are, however, several techniques open to you when cooking on a Rayburn that give better results that are just not possible with a conventional cooker. Each new Rayburn comes with a comprehensive Rayburn cook book full of delicious traditional and contemporary recipes, plus hints and tips to help you get the very best out of your cooker. Rayburn Stockists hold Demonstrations too, which will answer your culinary questions. Is a Rayburn controlled like a conventional cooker? Yes, they all offer supreme flexibility and complete controllability for cooking, and on larger models hot water and central heating. Can I cook without running the central heating? Yes. All twin-burner models have separate burners for cooking and heating. Certain models are also available with an electronic programmer so you can set the heating and cooker to come on independently in anticipation of your return home. Can I have a Rayburn that is for cooking only? Yes, there are cooking only models for all fuel types, and some don t even require a chimney with the new power flue option. The Rayburn family of cookers is the largest range available and there is a perfect model to suit every home. How can I grill food on a Rayburn? Grilling takes place in three ways. Bacon, sausages, tomatoes and so on are placed on a grill rack in the meat tin at the very top of a hot oven where they cook to perfection. A ridged grill pan is heated on the boiling end of the hotplate or on the floor of a hot oven for steaks, cutlets and chops. Grilled or toasted sandwiches can be cooked directly on the hotplate. Do Rayburns have to be positioned against an outside wall? No. Conventional flue models can be fitted on internal or external walls as convenient. Where are Rayburns made? The Rayburn is a British invention and all the castings are made in the Coalbrookdale Foundry in Ironbridge, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Every Rayburn is hand built in Shropshire by our master craftsmen and delivered to the home ready assembled, or in modular form, for easy installation. Will the kitchen get too hot? The amount of insulation in a Rayburn, depending on model, is sufficient to provide some warmth to the kitchen as required. Traditional models give a gentle warmth at an idling setting, and more heat when at full operating temperature. How quickly do they heat up? Traditional models are designed for continuous operation. To bring the cooker from an idling setting to a moderate oven takes around 40 minutes. Are Rayburns expensive to run? Efficiency ratings for our new models are directly comparable to other premium boilers and therefore a Rayburn costs no more to run than a comparable conventional boiler. Rayburns are made from cast iron, a material that has excellent thermal properties which absorbs and retains heat, making the most of your 40

24 fuel. The cookers are also well insulated making for efficient and economical running even when operated continuously. All models are controllable to give total flexibility. Costs will also vary dependant on lifestyle, usage, model and system design. Bear in mind that the presence of a Rayburn in the kitchen will possibly eliminate the need for a radiator. Are both ovens for cooking? All Rayburns have a large main cast iron oven, large enough to easily accommodate a 28lb (13kg) turkey. The lower oven is two-thirds the volume of the upper oven. Models with cast iron lower ovens operate at half the temperature of the main oven. Other models feature a warming oven, which is useful for warming dishes, keeping cooked food hot for latecomers and making meringues, drying herbs, etc. What about cleaning? The cast iron ovens are genuinely self-cleaning. A wire brush can be used to remove any burned-on deposits in the ovens and on the hotplate. Most spills simply burn off when the oven is at a high setting. The vitreous enamel exterior is easily cleaned using the Rayburn Enamel Cleaner. The stainless steel parts can be cleaned with the Rayburn Stainless Steel and Chrome Cleaner. How much, approximately, does it cost to install a Rayburn Heatranger? This will depend entirely on site requirements. A professional site survey will be required with any central heating model installation. What warranty comes with a new Rayburn and what does it cover? Three years parts and one year labour. Certain components are chargeable consumable items and will need to be replaced at service intervals. Refer to warranty documentation. Subject to installation by a member of the Rayburn Guild and registration with Rayburn, the warranty period is extended to one year labour and five years parts on selected models. Is a Rayburn safe for children? A Rayburn is generally safer than most conventional cookers as there are no naked flames or very hot electric elements to touch. Although the body and hotplates of a Rayburn are hot to the touch, its surface temperatures are not likely to cause significant injury. As a general safety matter, children should not be allowed to play with a cooker or its controls or to interfere with fires. Is fitting included? No, but all Rayburns are hand finished and delivered pre-built and fully tested, so do not need to be assembled on site (excluding the Rayburn 800 Series). For cooking only models, suitable fuel and flue connections need to be fitted. For hot water and central heating models a competent plumber will need to connect the cooker to your central heating. Will the chimney need lining? Generally, yes, but it depends on the flue construction. A professional survey will determine this. 41

25 Rayburn colour options The Rayburn gallery of eight cooker colours opens up exciting possibilities in the kitchen, whether you choose to co-ordinate with your décor or go for a bold contrast. Whichever colour you choose, you can be sure that Rayburn s legendary vitreous enamel will keep its good looks for years to come. Hand sprayed and heat fused to the cast iron in a process which takes three days to complete, this unique finish is incredibly durable and very easy to clean. Whilst every effort is made to match colours, these are as close as the printing process allows. Due to the unique nature of the enamelling process, some colours may appear warmer during use.
